Seale BallEnglisher

Searle BallEnglisher is a native Alabamian (the cradle of the Confederacy) and 100 percent southerner who has been temporarily stranded in a foreign land (California). Homesick and hungry for a goodhumored dose of southernfried fun (not to mention okra), the author cooked up this loving tribute to the women the backbone of the South who have raised hell, loved well and taken no guff while leaving their indelible, often magnoliascented or Criscoladen, but ultimately unforgettable, marks upon the world.
